It is an unfair comparison by slotting a 1.6l engine car with others in a lower segment. Sales of Suzuki Swift speaks for itself I guess....
Palio is a nice car, but it should have been the 1.2l that should have been in contention here.

One will hate FIAT only if he had bad experience with FIAT poor A.S.S after buying FIAT 118 or UNO. The bad resale value creates hatred. For Palio owners they cannot think about buying Maruthi or Hyundai vehicle. For Skoda/VW is the next only choice.

That being said I must confess that the ride of the Petra 1.6 i stiff.

I told you earlier as well, it is pretty much sensitive to tyre pressure. 28psi is recommended by Fiat, while most tyrewallas will fill in 29-30, which is 1-2 psi extra. Try this experiment (only experiment),

keep it at 26-27. It will absorb any goddamn craters on the road. You basically glide over the road.

Make it 28. It will just make "thud" noise over bumps/craters (felt only by driver and not passengers).

I know RX. My observation is wrt to other cars. I am totally fine with my suspension. But people who have been spoiled by the soft suspension of the Baleno and the Accent will definitely find the Petra's suspension stiffer.

There is one other thing which I have mentioned before and will mention again. The suspension of the Petra feels virtually indestructible. I have never got that confidence in other cars.
